I knew there'd be a thread about this video and I knew half the people would be bitching about it. Glad to see you guys don't disappoint.

This movie was awful and I'm glad Cinema Sins picked it apart. And I just KNEW Michael Bay would be the sentence.

While I don't think it was awful, it was very bland and felt very much like it should have been a two-part episode of the 2003 series. The monsters plot just felt shoe-horned in and random and the goddamn Leo vs. Raph thing was shoved in our faces again while Mikey and Don were dumped in the background.

Also, I lol'd at the Pacific Rim joke.

While I'll admit this movie isn't great, it certainly isn't bad. The CGI is incredibly well done, the voice acting is great and the turtles' personalities are fully intact - probably one of the best representations of each of them.
But yes, the plot is somewhat thin and the villains are highly forgettable. It sucks just how underused Karai is. They shouldn't have set it after the 3rd movie, they should have made it as a reboot and included the Shredder.

Nice to see a more positive response to Cinema Sins this time, where were you people in the first thread?

As a former filmstudent myself, I too can fully enjoy a film while also nitpicking. It actually makes it more fun.

The thirteen monsters plot and the stone generals was just way to much for a short movie, and not very TMNT. And there was a lot of small things that bugs me, like the handling of Karai and the Foot in general. The lack of Donnie he Mikey and overall the jungle stuff.

The animation is good, the CG models are decent. Love the majority of the voice actors, Sarah Michelle Gellar as April was awesome.

I was pretty sorely disappointed in this movie, but to be fair I think Kevin Munroe was too. I think he wrote a longer, more coherent script and it kept getting trampled on by the idiots who wanted to kidify it. The personalities were mostly "intact" except Michelangelo who was stupid as hell. The voice acting was good, the CGI was great at times, but the plot was dumb, it wasn't funny or charming at all (warning to those who want a "dark" TMNT movie), and honestly TMNT films kind of need Shredder.

I enjoyed the movie. It isn't a critically acclaimed movie nonetheless I still enjoyed it for other reasons.

What Rooish said.

At the time I really wanted to love it, but with hindsight it is very weak.

But... to give credit where credit is due TMNT did a really good job of setting tone. The city was dark and moody; visually, the NYC environments were stunning; the Raph / Leo fight in the rain was truly outstanding. It could have been perfect if the whole portal / monsters / Winters / stone generals thing was left out in favour of some Michelangelo / Donatello stuff and a few meaty battle scenes with the Foot and Karai.
